Hello Barry, Many thanks for your reply. My details are rather sketchy as I have taken them from the IGI. What I have follows: Jonathan RAINE b. c 1710 Yorkshire M abt 1735 Martha HUNTER b. 30 May 1706 Romaldkirk Dau: Elizabeth RAINE b. 15 Jul 1737 Norgill, Romaldkirk M. 14 May 1759 Yorkshire Richard BRIGNAL b. 24 Jun 1734 Kirkby Ravensworth That is all the detail about the immediate family. I am somewhat lacking in dates/detail.
